Brandywine - OSA 3200 High-Precision Optical-Cesium Clock
- Uses modern optical pumping instead of older magnetic cesium methods, which improves long-term stability and reliability while measuring many more atoms for highly accurate timing.
- Offers excellent frequency accuracy (≤ ±1×10⁻¹²) and very low phase noise on multiple frequency outputs (5 MHz, 10 MHz, 100 MHz), making it suitable for precise synchronization.
- Supports multiple power options (AC, DC ±24 V, DC −48 V) with redundant and hot-swappable supply modules and optional battery backup for one hour, aiding uptime in critical environments.
The OSA 3200 SP makes high-precision timing more accessible. Designed for national metrology labs, defense systems and telecom networks, the solution offers a ten-year service life, secure remote management and ultra-low phase noise. As legacy magnetic cesium clocks reach end-of-life, The OSA 3200 SP provides a sustainable, easy-to-maintain alternative that reduces total cost of ownership without compromising performance.
